I don't play this kind of games at all, but I still can sympathize with you if it's your preferred pastime, and it doesn't work as good as you'd like. I just don't think it warrants a conclusion that those nets in which we are arguing are broken. They are tangibly, observably doing pretty well. And I find that the idea that in a shiny world of pure IPv6 central servers/nodes would decentralize themselves comes from deep misunderstanding about what "normal" humans want.

It's not about "what 'normal' humans want", it's about what can even be built.

It's currently hard to build decentralized anything now, and it'd be nice to open things up to see what creative things (if any) people could come up with if the network allowed for more peer-to-peer connections.
